I first began to play Go around 1976 at the Berkeley Go Club and shortly thereafter at the San Francisco Go Club as well. In 1979 through a connection at the Berkeley Go Club, I went to see Japan "for a summer or a year" and have been here ever since. My involvement with Go has varied over the years as family and work have kept me more or less busy otherwise. Currently (Feb. 2004) I play as a 6d at the Takadanobaba Go Club near Takadanobaba Station in Tokyo. I started playing on-line in the mid 90's in the usual places but have been most active on DGS for the last year and a half. More recently I started playing on KGS as well.
I greatly enjoy reviewing games for the Go Teaching Ladder (as "forfun") which I think is a great resource. I strongly recommend being a reviewer to everyone. I hope that Sensei's Library will be a similar success.

The action in the lower right finally ends when Black extends with . White preempts the bottom left with
. But does Black turn away to the empty corner at the top? Of course not! Instead he digs right in with 6 and the two of them go at it again. But this is running to too many diagrams, so...
I will simply add that the board looks like this 45 moves later when White finally turns to the last open corner.
